Theos-Talk Archives (February 2000 Message tt00061)

Thanks for the info. I will try to locate the movie.

Considering how unconventional HPB was, how such an unconventional person
was chosen to launch modern theosophical movement, nothing surprises me any
more. The Powers be use every tool available to further the interests of
Humanity no matter what the conventional wisdom is.

Years ago, one of my neighbors would not let his son watch BB. So he used
to come to my home and watch it -- we not being very open minded. So here
comes the surprising find. I asked one of my sons to see if he recalls
seeing this episode and the reply was negative.

thanks again..
